They were there this morning at 8:30 AM, feeding briefly on the standing (weed?) stalks and then flying up and moving 25 or 50 feet and settling down to feed briefly again, all the while calling continuously. At times they were right next to the road. I would have guessed 250 birds based on my attempts to count by 10s but they are very hard to count.
